Remember when then-Spokane Mayor Nadine Woodward stood on stage with domestic terrorist Matt Shea to pray for her re-election? Well the homophobic carnival barker who prayed over them just had his lawsuit tossed. MAGA hates that our freedom of speech means we can criticize their attacks on us.

Once again Nelson shows how little she cares about us. Vote Dionne Foster, who put it best: “At a time when our laws, rights, and communities are under real threat, we need leaders who understand the crisis, share our values, and will not back down from defending our people."

MAGA are raising health care costs on hundreds of thousands of Washingtonians by 21% after their Big Billionaire Bill gutted funding for Medicaid. Overlake Hospital CEO Jon Duarte "anticipates hospitals will have to deal with providing more uncompensated care, straining their finances"

ICYMI: Trump canceled a rule that would have forced airlines to refund you for disrupted flights. He isn’t in office to serve you. He’s there to make his billionaire buddies even richer. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Justice Mary Yu has a been a trail-blazing progressive force on Washington's State Supreme Court, and we will greatly miss her! Gov. Ferguson will appoint a new justice to fill the vacancy & a special election will be held next year to complete the remainder of Yu’s term.

ICYMI: a federal court ruled against private corporation Geo Group, who barred WA L&I and Dept of Health from inspecting their NW ICE detention prison in Tacoma. While Geo will likely appeal, this is a positive step towards oversight of the long allegation record of human rights abuses here.

It is no coincidence that the people the MAGA regime has been abducting are the ones like Lelo who've fought the hardest for the rights and freedoms of working people. Trump's 1st step was to give his billionaire backers massive tax cuts, his 2nd one is taking away protections for working families.

Not content with their efforts last #WALeg session to cut abortion access and essential services by refusing to pay what they owe in taxes, Microsoft is now dumping money behind Republican candidate Michelle Caldier to do their bidding.

Federal immigration agents were seemingly forced to retreat from a roofing job site in Rochester, NY, after being confronted by more than 100 protesters The workers stayed on the roof and agents drove away in a Border Patrol SUV on four flat tires, which had been slashed

Washington is making the updated Covid vaccine available to anyone who wants it over 6 months of age. Trump and his lackey Brainworms Kennedy Jr have rejected science and turned our federal health agencies into propaganda outlets for their weird grudges against medicine.

The massive MAGA cuts to health care in their Big Billionaires Bill will raise costs on all of us, regardless of where we get our insurance. Trump's tariff chaos only piles on the pain as he drives up the prices of drugs and medical devices. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/04/h...

"You're a charlatan. That's what you are." -- Cantwell to RFK Jr

MAGA Republicans like RFK Jr are making our families sicker and raising health care costs on us by rolling back scientific progress. West Coast Democrats are fighting back by restoring access to life-saving vaccines that keep us safe and working hard to put food on the table.

Sara Nelson was confronted this weekend at her own press conference by angry neighbors who accuse her and the council majority of ignoring the needs of residents in Lake City. One man holding a baby told Nelson to her face, "you're just giving a stump speech without offering any solutions."

Not Just Seattle, but statewide! I envision a point where we don't have 'primaries' unless a certain race has more than 5 candidates; primaries can winnow the field to 5 for the final, if necessary

Ranked Choice Voting in NYC's mayoral race led candidates Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander to mutually endorse each other, reinforcing the idea that candidates could lift each other up — and still win. Now it's Seattle's turn to make "politics more as a team sport for the future of our city."

this is the basic timeline

Trump: People were taken out of the spa, hired by Epstein… I told him we don’t want you taking our people, whether it’s spa or not spa. He did it again, I said out of here. Reporter: Was one of the stolen people Virginia Giuffre? Trump: I think so. He stole her.

Our Progressive Voters Guide strongly endorses @yesonprop1seattle.bsky.social because big money shouldn’t decide who runs for office or who gets heard. Vote to renew Seattle's successful Democracy Voucher program on your August 5 primary ballot!

Thanks to Democracy Vouchers, thousands of Seattleites are now political donors for the first time. That’s how we build a more inclusive, participatory democracy. Let’s not go backward. Vote YES on Prop 1! @yesonprop1seattle.bsky.social

Big money shouldn’t drown out the voices of everyday people. Seattle’s Democracy Voucher Program is a proven solution.

Seattle's Democracy Voucher Program isn't just changing the game locally -- it's a model for the whole nation. By voting #YesOnProp1 by August 5th, Seattle can show that democracy is not for sale!
